We’re an ambitious brand, collaborating with some of the best designers and partners in the world. But we’re only as good as our employees, so we look to attract people who are passionate with diverse backgrounds and experience.
Our Company
Triple Wimbledon champion Fred Perry was born to a cotton spinner. He played and fought his way through, always with style and despite the establishment.
In 1952, he founded the Fred Perry brand, designing his first pique shirt the same year. That shirt, the shirt, would transcend sportswear to streetwear on the backs of generation after generation of British youth subcultures. The shirt is the start and end of everything we do, because it’s more than a shirt – it’s a rite of passage, it’s the uniform of the non-uniform. A true icon.
Today, Fred Perry is a global community of 370 employees, all inspired by the Laurel Wreath and what it represents.
Fred Perry has never adjusted its course for anyone. Never been a slave to fashion. Never tied itself to the latest subculture. This philosophy has led to long term collaborations with like-minded partners, from Comme des Garçons to Amy Winehouse and from Raf Simons to Charlie Casely-Hayford.
Our Company
We’re an ambitious brand, collaborating with some of the best designers and partners in the world. But we’re only as good as our employees, so we look to attract people who are passionate with diverse backgrounds and experience.
Our head office is in the heart of London. It’s where everything happens from Design, Product Development, Customer Service and Operations. We have over 200 shops around the world, from Glasgow to Brighton, Paris, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo to name a few.
We value the career and personal development of our employees. We invest in leadership and coaching programmes that are aimed at upskilling our Directors and Senior Management team. This gives them the tools and skills needed to become effective leaders.
Covid-19
The outbreak and continued transmission of Covid-19 in 2020 has caused ongoing consequences around the world. The world is a different place to the one we all knew.
At Fred Perry we have reviewed and revised our business practices to support the physical and financial wellbeing of our own employees, along with those of our partners and supply chain.
Our Company
The Laurel Wreath is a symbol of individuality and of belonging. We pride ourselves in being an inclusive workplace, but we recognise this is a work in progress.
We set up a Diversity & Inclusivity group in order to educate ourselves and to start doing the work to make real positive differences across the business. We feel we needed to first take the time to look internally, speak to our teams and focus our energies on listening to our employees’ experiences.
Our Company
Fred Perry employs 290 staff across the UK, 51.7% are Female and 47.9% are Male.
Our gender pay gap is currently still too wide, but we are making progress in that the gap is narrowing and it is our ambition to close Fred Perry’s gender gap – something we are working towards.
Living Wage
We ensure that all our employees will always receive no less than the National Minimum Wage and for those aged 25+ we ensure that they will always receive the National Living Wage.
We recognise that some of our employees under the age of 25 are only receiving the National Minimum Wage and we are looking into the locations where this is the case, why it is and what we can do to move them beyond minimum wage levels.
